This film received its initial television broadcasts in Los Angeles Saturday 16 July 1949 on KTSL (Channel 2), in Cincinnati Friday 23 September 1949 on WCPO (Channel 7), and in New York City Tuesday 17 January 1950 on the DuMont Television Network's WABD (Channel 5).
Completed as 'Passport to Heaven' in 1941, but unable to find a distributor due to the outbreak of World War II, which made its German settings and characterizations unpalatable to the American public; eventually picked up by Film Classics in 1945, but received few bookings, probably for the same reason; the only review it ever received was in Exhibitor Magazine in July 1946, who also commented on this same problem; eventually picked up for television release by NTA in the 1950's, but only infrequently shown.
